CJSpud Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Have you watched any of the videos or read any of the Help Database articles on building dormers? You can go to Help (F1) and get information on building dormers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 That looks like a garage. If there are no interior walls, then try placing floating dormers. If it won't let you do it, then it's probably because the dormer is too big. It looks like you have a fairly shallow pitched roof for a dormer. Try making the dormer smaller before placing it.

DavidJPotter Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 If your default settings are not set to match the 3D geometry of your intended location of the dormers then the dormer tool will not place a viable dormer. You must set your defaults (Edit- Default Settings - Dormer) in such a way that a dormer can then be created. This is well explained in the Reference Manual and Help files but must be followed by some trial and error practice to really well understand how the defaults operate and how to adjust them to your purposes.
